Saba

Saba's shallow reef and open-ocean pinnacles are protected by a marine park. Most sites are along Saba's lee, and none is more than a 15-minute boat ride from the marina.

You can dive Saba by live-aboard or with land-based operations. Dive shops aren't smack-dab on the beach-morning hotel pick-ups and afternoon drop-offs are necessary.
